It is not always. 1.9.3 happen to hit that. When Apple disclose that exact condition, we are possible to workaround. ---------------------------------------- Bug #5433: PTY.spawn Kernel panic on macos lion http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5433 Author: Gamaliel Toro Status: Third Party's Issue Priority: Normal Assignee: Kenta Murata Category: Target version: ruby -v: ruby-1.9.2 If you execute a PTY.spawn with a non existing command give a kernel panic.
